Distribution of Urinary Trace Element Exposure and Dietary Sources in Women Over 50 in an Agricultural Region- A community-based KoGES cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Our study underscores the significant gap in understanding urinary concentrations of trace elements in women aged over 50. With higher concentrations of certain elements compared to previous studies and significant correlations between age, smoking, and specific food sources, it is imperative to address this gap through targeted dietary source-specific risk management.PMID:38679278 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2024.118973 (Source: Environmental Research)

Study protocol to assess aflatoxin M1 health risks versus benefits of dairy consumption in Ethiopian children: an epidemiological trial and risk-benefit analysis
Introduction
In Sidama, Ethiopia, animal-source foods can be difficult to access. Milk has important nutrients for child growth, but carries the risk of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) contamination. AFM1 is a metabolite of the mycotoxin aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in dairy feed; cows secrete AFM1 in milk when their feed contains AFB1 produced by Aspergillus fungi in maize, nuts and oilseeds. It is unknown whether AFM1 compromises child growth and health.
Methods and analysis
This protocol paper describes our study in Sidama to determine the impact of milk consumption and AFM1 on child growth in the first 18 months of life. We will collect b...

Environmental sustainability of diets among children and adolescents in the German DONALD cohort study: Age and time trends, and nutrient adequacy
CONCLUSION: Our findings underscore both the further need but also the capacity for change toward more environmentally sustainable diets. Yet, the trade-off between environmental sustainability and nutrient adequacy in diets of children and adolescents requires specific attention to dietary composition.PMID:38677519 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.04.026 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Polyphenols and Lactation: Molecular Evidence to Support the Use of Botanical Galactagogues
Ruminant, rodent, and in vitro models provide insight into the molecular pathways of botanical breastfeeding supplements. Breastfeeding mothers often use herbs, foods, and supplements containing polyphenols to improve lactation. Some examples include fenugreek (quercetin), grapes (resveratrol), and green tea (epigallocatechin). Studies using ruminant, rodent, and in vitro assays are useful in understanding effects of polyphenols on molecular pathways such as the activation of insulin/growth hormone/Iinsulin growth factor 1 signaling and deactivation of NF κβ signaling in mammary epithelial cells. AbstractBotanicals and h...

Evaluation of the environmental impacts of the smallholder milk-production system in Central Mexico
AbstractIn order to analyze the environmental performance of Smallholder Dairy Farms (SHDFs) located in the State of Mexico, a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) was carried out using two methodological approaches (A1 and A2) to estimate and interpret environmental impacts. A1 consisted in obtaining the average inputs and outputs of 15 SHDFs to generate a representative farm life cycle inventory, while A2 included an individual environmental impact analysis per SHDF to obtain average values of the contributions per analyzed midpoint impact category. The feed production subsystem generated the highest contributions to environmental ...

What ’s in your food? A new research effort intends to find out
NEW YORK CITY—
Humans eat more than 30,000 species of plants and animals. But for the most part we don’t know much about what is in them. Researchers have thoroughly analyzed the molecular components of only a few hundred of the most common foods, leaving a vast gap in our knowledge of nutrition.
This week, food scientists and activists met here to launch a new database that aims to close that gap. The database, part of a project called the Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI), spearheaded by the Rockefeller Foundation, aims to document the vast array of biomolecules found in food, with a long-term goal ...
